BLACKPINK predebut pictures are a treasure trove of memories for BLINKs. Before members of BLACKPINK were the global superstars they are today, they were just four young girls trying to make it big in the music industry.
Lisa, the only Thai member of the group, left behind a major chunk of her life to pursue her dreams of stardom in a foreign country and found a family in BLACKPINK.

It’s a testament to their simplicity and the hard work that went into their successful debut.
Let’s look at the predebut pictures of four ordinary girls from different parts of the globe who managed to debut as part of one of the most popular girl groups in the world.
